This is the first real low-cost GPS-enabled brushless drone from JJRC. The Hax looks a lot like the popular, but expensive Hubsan H501S. Checking in under $150 makes this quadcopter a steal if it can deliver what it says it can.

HD Camera

The Hax claims to sport a removable WiFi 1080p HD camera. This camera may be decent, but it isn’t on a gimbal and doesn’t have image stabilization. I like that it is removable, that means it can be upgraded or replaced with a better camera. You can pick up a nice action camera on Amazon without breaking the bank.

WiFi FPV typically means there will be a small amount of lag in the video signal. The WiFi transmission will also limit the FPV range of the drone. Thankfully, you can also record directly to an SD card for better quality and not worry so much about the WiFi range.

GPS Enabled Drone

Like most GPS drones, the Hax has a return-to-home feature that you can trigger manually or will occur if you lose signal. If you plan on flying indoors you can rely on altitude hold to keep this quadcopter level. Sadly, the Hax does not seem to have a follow-me or orbit mode.

This is the first drone that JJRC has sold with a nice remote transmitter. While this may not be a high-end luxury remote, it definitely is much nicer than most toy-grade quadcopter remotes.

It is refreshing that a drone manufacturer finally included a nice remote transmitter. Thanks JJRC.

Should I Order a Hax?

While we have yet to test this quad, it does compare pretty favorably to the popular MJX Bugs 2. If you are looking for an inexpensive brushless GPS drone then the JJPRO X3 Hax is definitely worth a shot.
